Unless they're planning on changing the scheme he doesn't fit their defense. Asante is a finesse CB, not a physical man CB who's good at playing at the LOS. Unless they intend to install more zone defenses that utilize his skills, I would consider it a risky signing for the Eagles, especially at Asante's likely price.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Samuel becomes a member of the long list of Patriots players who left via free agency, and never again reached the playing level they achieved in NE.

i dont know...what i do know is that i would love to play agaisnt samuel...i see BB using him to gain good plays every single time...

just send a guy underneath, and have brady pump fake....get samuel right off his route....and then just throw it to the guy samuel SHOULD have been covering...

it happened to him a number of times last season

Right, Samuel cares more about jumping routes, and his pick offs, then he does on blanket covering.... I personally think he is over rated, he has his best plays when our front 7 are on their game, when they suffer, for the most part, so does Samuel.

I want a CB who is like white on rice with his man from jumpstreet, like Ty Law used to do... man I miss him.

I'm not sure why people are so afraid of him being in our division. Brady probably knows his tendencies and such better than anyone. It would just be a big cap hit for a player that still wouldn't get them anywhere close to the Pats.
